Well, its show me your stationery day, and I thought I would let you in on a few of the bargains I bought this week.
First up, is a pad and pen, which is going to be a present for one of Miss N’s friends. It was from Paperchase and half price, so was just within my £5 budget. I try to keep to this limit for children, so often shop in the sales.
Here is all wrapped up, with a little Belle and Boo tape, and some gorgeous gossamer ribbon.
I also bought some really lovely gift bags from John Lewis, with matching stickers to use to seal them. They were reduced from £5 to £2, bargain! New paperclips (Morrison’s) and a purple pen (Paperchase) to add to stationery village too!
Its a small contribution, but hope you enjoyed.
Go see what everyone else has decided to show you over at Molly and the Princess’ blog.

I love paperchase bargains! I always get my Xmas cards from there in the sale. I too spend £5 on kids friends prezzies, nice when you can get a beautiful bargain. 🙂
Me too, I got the best ones a couple of years go which has brussel sprouts on, they were so cool!
I love your Belle and Boo-wrapped present, and adore the John Lewis gift bags – very jealous, we do not have a John Lewis here (though we will have soon, and a Waitrose, can’t wait!). Like you and Lucie I also tried to stick to £5 for children’s gifts when mine were younger – and stocked up in sales.
My Show Me Your Stationery will be a bit late, but will link up as soon as its up – thanks so much for taking part!
Thanks M, will have at your goodies in a min. JL is one of my favourite shops, I have to limit how much I go in though eek!
Lovely to see that I’m not the only stationary addict in this country 😉
Hehe! Yes, hope you are showing yours too, would love to see!
The Belle and Boo tape is gorgeous! Will have to hunt that out. What a gorgeous present for a little girl :0)
Ooh didn’t you do well with the John Lewis bargains!!? Nice bits Amanda!
Love Paperchase products, the journal is adorable. My ten year old looked at it and said she would love to get a journal like that too, ha ha : )
